[AmericanMMA]

Love me some Bas Rutten, but my God did Randleman get robbed.

They resolved their beef backstage in Pride in true warrior JBG way

 

[Last Falconry]

that video makes me miss Randleman

 

[RonDante]

It seems like they went with ruttens activity off his back rather than randlemans control

Yeah I love Bas, but that was one of the worst decisions ever imo RIP Randleman

Did you watch Edgar vs Benson 2

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

The judges back then didn't know what they were watching... just like in 2024

The more things change…. The more they stay the same

They both did okay in the UFC

They gave Bas the gift decision and then he never fought in the ufc ever again

Ehh makes sense. Might even be scored like that today.

Ideally the guy doing something would be given the round, but erceg pantoja showed us that the judges still don’t understand the scoring

To be fair back in the day it was established you can just hold guys down and win. Like Fitch and earlier. Emphasis on damage and strikes wasn't until later.

pretty sure the worst decision was 10 years ago

Yes. Which seems to be what should happen. I mean, Randleman had control but he did not land shit.

 

[TR1]

RIP Randleman.

Suplexing Allah in heaven as we speak.

Facts. Kevin Randleman did ok in Pride FC, also

To be fair, there is no single win in Fitch's career where he didnt land the more strikes than his opponent, usually by a large margin. At least in his UFC career.

Fitch was no Kevin Randleman in the ground; he knew was he was doing down there. Didnt just held top position but actually controled the action and barely allowed their opponents to land anything off their backs.
Fitch could be painfully boring, but boredom is not a scoring criteria.
